Military on high alert for North Korea 'gift' after Christmas passed without one

Now that the Christmas holiday has passed without a "gift" from the North Korean regime, US officials are puzzled why Kim Jong Un chose not to conduct a weapons test so far. The Trump administration had widely interpreted the North Korean promise of a "Christmas gift" to mean a weapons test, especially as intelligence indicators grew. Officials remain watchful in the days following the holiday. CNN Paula Hancocks reports.

On the second day of christmas, CNN gave to me...
a map, that shows Seoul in Turkey...

[ww-tijs]

Because he's not dumb enough to do it on Christmas... he'll do it when we least expect it. And to think it's just a test he made a threat with is ridiculous. You dont make a threat unless you plan to carry through with it.

[enrutuu]

so is Trump still waiting for his lovely Vase???

[alfonsakyles]

Lol I didn’t know Seoul, South Korea was in Turkey

[amankhemlani]

The map showed Turkey instead of south Korea, isnt that interesting

[blackdoveyt]

CNN should learn where Korea is on a map... That's Turkey 😂😂😂

[dragonoperator]

i love how it says seoul in south korea but goes to turkey

[jeffnovack]

The "gift" from North Korea was just delayed. You know how hard it is to ship on time during the holidays...

[Lunamere]

Christmas is not about gifts - Kim Jong Un

[Flangobeast]

You know what’s funny... I love when the media says “the military is flying spy planes on secretive missions over the Korean Peninsula” but it’s posted public on YouTube lol

[sirstickyicky]

Media is funny 😄. Like a puppet on a string 😂😂😂😂

[wadeanthony]

...the gift is topical...the 3 wise men..1 chinese..1 north korean...1 russian..have assembled a 3 country military force..and have indicated to trumps america...1 against 3...your move donnie...

[nativelatinosfooktrump]

😶 Kim should worry about feeding his people and not building nuclear weapons

[HoTrEtArDeDcHiXx]

Your map would indicate that your correspondent is not in Korea, but Turkey. Lucky for you, most of your viewers probably didn't catch that, cognitively impaired as they are

[deepankarchandrashekhar]

Wait.. Seoul is not on the west coast of Turkey!! what the hell CNN.. get your fancy maps right!! 😂🤣

[SQUADEMPIRE]

The military is on high alert, while trump is waiting for an actual gift in a box with a big ribbon smh

[ALANLEEY]

0:13 that map isn’t Seoul it’s somewhere in Turkey. Americans smh..

[Leonaza]

I have a vague memory of his supporters falling all over themselves to hand Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for this "special relationship."

[Flowerbarrel]

Well, US is keeping an eye out, at least. It'd be hard not to notice if NK did send some weapon. Though, their weapons haven't done well long-range thus far.
